    The structural integrity of the joints is extremely important because any of the gases that leak from the segments will erode the gas tight path and begin to melt the outside of the booster. The solid rocket boosters from several earlier missions gave signs of weakness and black‚ thick smoke had been noticed to be leaking from the joints‚ this was made worse because the air temperature of the launch of the Columbia was below freezing. The rubberised O-ring

    Hypersonic air breathing systems offer unprecedented class of flight vehicle encompass endoatmospheric and space access vehicles which allow rapid response at long range‚ great maneuverability and better survivability. Rocket boosters were used in the past to propel hypersonic vehicles. Rockets carry fuel that is heavy making it pragmatic only for short and vertical flight. Therefore the development of lightweight air breathing hypersonic vehicle has become the need. The temperature of the air rises when

    HSC PHYSICS: SPACE * 1. “The Earth has a gravitational field that exerts a force on objects both on and around it.”   Students learn to “define weight as the force on an object due to a gravitational field.”   Mass is the amount of matter in a body whereas weight is the force due to gravity acting on a mass. Mass will not change where the acceleration due to gravity is different but the weight will change.        For example‚ bathroom weights are calibrated in kg‚ but actually measure
